Cycle on Aug 27, 2026

I will start by listing the open threads and watches for this topic using `list_threads` to see if there are any specific questions or watches we need to resolve or track.

I will read the existing notes for this topic using `read_notes` to see how findings are organized and what the overall structure is.

The priority window is from **Thursday, August 27, 2026** to **Thursday, September 24, 2026**. Let's see what sources are already mined. There are many: dclibrary.libnet.info, solidstatebooksdc.com, nga.gov, airandspace.si.edu, dcjazzfest.org, easternmarket-dc.org, theyardsdc.com, eastcitybookshop.com, hillcenterdc.org, barracksrow.org, eventbrite.com, labyrinthgameshop.com, orders.nbm.org, visitthecapitol.gov, anacostiariverkeeper.org, dcstayathomeparent.com, folger.edu, hillfamilybiking.org, hirshhorn.si.edu, kidfriendlydc.com, nationalchildrensmuseum.org, naturalhistory.si.edu, registration.chaw.org, usbg.gov, admoday.com, americanart.si.edu, calendar.google.com, congressionalcemetery.org, dcpaidfamilyleave.dc.gov, dcstatefair.org, easternmarketmainstreet.org, edibledc.com, ggwash.org, hsema.dc.gov, hstreetfestival.org, instagram.com, lincolncottage.org, ma.to, merrypindc.com, nbm.org, npg.si.edu, turningthepage.org, waba.org, washington.org. Let's search for new sources or new events within the priority window. What about Mommy Poppins? Let's search for Mommy Poppins DC events for September 2026, or other kid-friendly sites. Let's do a search for `"mommypoppins" washington dc september 2026` or general Capitol Hill kid events in September 2026. Also, we have a standing watch: `Capitol Hill Fall & Winter Holiday Kids Events` (slug or thread ID `019ef1a0-2c48-71fa-9ee8-5eb5b0eedd32`). Let's search for new events and see what we can find. I will run a web search.

Let's do a search for Mommy Poppins events in DC in September 2026. Let's see if we can find some other pages on Mommy Poppins. Let's do a web search for: `site:mommypoppins.com/washington-dc-kids/event/events/ september 2026` or `site:mommypoppins.com/washington-dc-kids/ "september"` or similar. Let's try searching for events in the priority window.

Let's see if we can find other events from Mommy Poppins that are closer to Capitol Hill. Wait, let's search for "Because Science DC" or "Space Festival at Because Science DC". Is that in DC? Let's see where Because Science is located. Let's do a search.

Let's check if we have this event on our calendar already. No, it's not in our priority window list of events. Let's add it! Wait, is there an Electronics Recycling & Take It Apart Day or Space Festival? Let's check the Space Festival event: - Date: September 12-13, 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM (12:00 - 17:00) - Title: Space Festival at Because Science - Location: Because Science, 1759 Columbia Rd NW, Washington, DC 20009 - Source URL: `https://becausesciencedc.com/products/space-festival-september-12-13-12-5pm` or `https://www.eventbrite.com/e/space-festival-saturday-sunday-september-1213-12-5pm-tickets-1998821255181` Let's search for "Space Festival" or "September Craft Lab Schedule" to see other events in September. Wait, let's search for `becausesciencedc.com/products/space-festival-september-12-13-12-5pm` or `site:becausesciencedc.com/products/` in Google to see if we can find more details or other events. Let's search.

Let's search for "Science Fair Fridays" on Because Science. Let's do a web search.

Let's check `https://becausesciencedc.com/apps/events/calendar` to see what events are on the calendar for September 2026. Let's fetch that page.

The table doesn't list the text of the events for September in full detail here, but we saw some events in the previous search. Let's do a web search for: `site:becausesciencedc.com/products/ "September" 2026` or let's search specifically for `"Space Festival" becausesciencedc.com/products/` or let's search for Eventbrite listings of Because Science. Let's do a search.

Let's try a broader search for Because Science Eventbrite.

Wait, let's search for "Space Festival / Saturday & Sunday September 12+13" on Eventbrite directly. Let's do a search.

Let's fetch `https://www.eventbrite.com/e/space-festival-saturday-sunday-september-1213-12-5pm-tickets-1998821255181` to confirm details.

Ah, wait! The web_search tool returned a message saying the budget for this cycle is spent! Oh! I must not call web_search again. I can only do web_fetch on URLs that I have or just use what I have. Wait, I can do web_fetch. Let's look at the events we have found from Because Science and add them. Let's list the new events we found: 1. **Science Fair Fridays (for kids 6-12 years)**: - Date/Time: Friday, August 28, 2026, 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM (14:30 - 16:30) - Slug: `because-science-science-fair-fridays-2026-08-28` - Venue: The Craft Lab, Because Science, 1759 Columbia Rd NW, Washington, DC 20009 - Description: A free outdoor STEM experience designed for curious kids ages 6–12 who love to explore, experiment, and discover. - Cost: Free - Source URL: `https://becausesciencedc.com/products/science-fair-fridays-for-kids-6-12-years-august-28-2-30-4-30pm` - Starts at: `2026-08-28T14:30:00-04:00` (which is 18:30:00Z. Wait! Let's check the timezone. DC is Eastern Time. In August, Eastern Daylight Time is UTC-4. So 2:30 PM EDT is `2026-08-28T14:30:00-04:00` or `2026-08-28T18:30:00Z`). Let's double-check the other events' timezone formats in the kickoff message: - "Big Barn's Puppet Show Fridays at Eastern Market (slug: kidsinger-jim-eastern-market-2026-08-28, 2026-08-28T14:30:00Z...)" Wait, the kickoff message has `2026-08-28T14:30:00Z` for an event that starts at 10:30 AM EDT? Or is it listed in UTC or local? Let's look at: "Children's Storytime at Solid State Books (slug: solid-state-books-storytime-2026-08-27, 2026-08-27T14:30:00Z...)" Solid State Books storytime is usually at 10:30 AM. So 10:30 AM EDT is 14:30:00Z. Yes! UTC is 4 hours ahead of EDT. So 2:30 PM EDT is 18:30:00Z. Let's check: "Science Fair Fridays (for kids 6-12 years) || August 28 || 2:30-4:30pm" -> 2:30 PM EDT is `2026-08-28T14:30:00-04:00` or `2026-08-28T18:30:00Z`. Let's specify the timezone offset clearly in `starts_at`! The tool description says: `starts_at: RFC3339 start (e.g. 2026-07-04T10:00:00-04:00)`. So I can write `2026-08-28T14:30:00-04:00`! That is much safer and clearer! Let's check the Space Festival events: - **Space Festival at Because Science - Day 1**: - Date: Saturday, September 12, 2026 - Time: 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM (12:00 - 17:00 EDT) - Starts at: `2026-09-12T12:00:00-04:00` - Ends at: `2026-09-12T17:00:00-04:00` - Location: Because Science, 1759 Columbia Rd NW, Washington, DC 20009 - Description: An out-of-this-world celebration of space, STEM, science, and creativity!

Wait, let's look at the sources that are already mined. Is there any other URL that we can fetch? The kickoff message list of sources mined includes: `dclibrary.libnet.info`, `solidstatebooksdc.com`, `nga.gov`, `airandspace.si.edu`, `dcjazzfest.org`, `easternmarket-dc.org`, `theyardsdc.com`, `eastcitybookshop.com`, `hillcenterdc.org`, `barracksrow.org`, `eventbrite.com`, `labyrinthgameshop.com`, `orders.nbm.org`, `visitthecapitol.gov`, `anacostiariverkeeper.org`, `dcstayathomeparent.com`, `folger.edu`, `hillfamilybiking.org`, `hirshhorn.si.edu`, `kidfriendlydc.com`, `nationalchildrensmuseum.org`, `naturalhistory.si.edu`, `registration.chaw.org`, `usbg.gov`, `admoday.com`, `americanart.si.edu`, `calendar.google.com`, `congressionalcemetery.org`, `dcpaidfamilyleave.dc.gov`, `dcstatefair.org`, `easternmarketmainstreet.org`, `edibledc.com`, `ggwash.org`, `hsema.dc.gov`, `hstreetfestival.org`, `instagram.com`, `lincolncottage.org`, `ma.to`, `merrypindc.com`, `nbm.org`, `npg.si.edu`, `turningthepage.org`, `waba.org`, `washington.org` Wait! Let's check `https://www.barracksrow.org/events` or `https://www.hillcenterdc.org/events/` or `https://www.solidstatebooksdc.com/events` to see if they have new events. But wait! The guidelines say: "Each cycle ADDS what's missing — it does not re-confirm what's already there. Re-fetching a source you've already swept to re-record events you already have is wasted work — by the time the upsert dedupes them the search/fetch budget is gone." So we should only re-check a known source if it likely posted NEW events inside the next 4 weeks. But wait, we can't search anymore because the search budget is exhausted. We can only fetch URLs. Let's see if we can find other event URLs to fetch, or if we should fetch some specific pages from known sources that might have updated calendars, like Hill Center DC or East City Bookshop or Solid State Books. Wait, let's fetch `https://www.solidstatebooksdc.com/events` or `https://www.eastcitybookshop.com/events` or `https://www.hillcenterdc.org/events` or `https://www.barracksrow.org/events`. Let's try fetching Hill Center DC events. Let's do a fetch of `https://www.hillcenterdc.org/events/`.

Let's look at the events at Hill Center DC: 1. **Immersive Saturday Spanish for Kids: Confident Communicators (Ages 9-14)**: - Date: Saturday, September 5, 2026 - Time: Let's see if we can find the time. Wait, the page lists: "Get Tickets: Immersive Saturday Spanish for Kids ... Confident Communicators (Ages 9-14)". Let's see if there is another event for Young Explorers (Ages 4-8) - yes, we already have `immersive-spanish-young-explorers-hill-center-2026-09-05` at 1:00 PM (13:00:00Z is 9:00 AM EDT. Wait! 13:00:00Z is 9:00 AM EDT. Let's check the time for Confident Communicators). Let's check the URL for Confident Communicators: `https://www.hillcenterdc.org/event/immersive-saturday-spanish-for-kids-by-go-spanish-now-confident-communicators-ages-9-14/2026-09-05/`.

Wait! 13:00:00Z is 9:00 AM EDT. Is the Young Explorers class at 9:00 AM, or is it at another time? Let's fetch its URL to verify. But first, let's search for its URL. The slug is `immersive-spanish-young-explorers-hill-center-2026-09-05`. Let's assume its URL is `https://www.hillcenterdc.org/event/immersive-saturday-spanish-for-kids-by-go-spanish-now-young-explorers-ages-4-8/2026-09-05/` (from the main events page).

The existing calendar event is already on the calendar with `starts_at: 2026-09-05T13:00:00Z` (which is 9:00 AM EDT). Since we don't need to duplicate it, we can skip it.
